Big Prop 8 protests in San Diego

This was the turnout last night at a Prop 8 protest in San Diego that got canceled. These protests are being organized virally (e-mail and text messages). Another one took place today, and police say at least 7,000 people marched two miles from the primary gayborhood of Hillcrest to the secondary gayborhood of North Park.

These snapshots come to us courtesy of San Diegan Ron Belanger, who headed over to Balboa Park because he was curious to see if the virally organized protest, canceled just hours before it was to take place, managed to get virally canceled. Obviously it didn't.

I had a couple of people taking photos at today's big march through the gayborhoods and will upload some pics here shortly.
